Last night I stayed up later than I meant to, writing a letter for my mother. She becomes fidgety when she doesn't hear from me in a while, convinced that she's lost her son to the sins of modern society

I am fine, Evan, thank you.

And I'm very glad to see that you've come to your senses.

[watch_him_fall]

Just fine? Someone of your beauty and position should be happy, delighted, even, dare I say it, blissful. Is there anything or anybody that upsets you, glacial mistress? Certainly something could be arranged in that case.

I'm very glad, as well. I hope my natural charm wins them all back. What say you?

[reflections_of]

Blissful. Right.

Oh Evan, I did miss your transparent attempts at flattery.

You've missed a lot in the past year.

[watch_him_fall]

It pains me that you call them attempts. I'm very sure I exceed at flattery. I do like to flatter those who deserve it, delicate flower. But, you did say you missed them, so clearly I was doing something right.

I hope I've made your night a little more blissful.

I haven't missed that much. I was merely occupied wallowing in self-pity. And everybody needs lighter conversation in complicated times.

[reflections_of]

Well, you do lay it on a bit thick at times. But it's amusing, so by all means continue.

How are your studies faring? Are you prepared for your NEWTs?

[watch_him_fall]

I shall, just for you, Mrs Malfoy.

I am prepared enough. I don't want to waste my last months at school with my nose buried in a book. There's too much to do.

[reflections_of]

And have you plans for your future once you've left school?

[watch_him_fall]

I will see where life leads me. I've a few ideas, but I can't say for certain yet.

What about you? What are your immediate plans, blond beauty?

[reflections_of]

There is a gathering on Easter Sunday, if you're interested. We may have spoken of it before.

I have no plans of my own, really. I am someone's wife.

[watch_him_fall]

Ah! Very good to know. Am I wrong in assuming you'll be there? I haven't seen you in so long, I believe a part of me is withering away because it hasn't been in your presence, Mrs Malfoy.

Is that so, then? It seems to me that my mother has all sorts of plans. Perhaps you should tell me about your life in detail, so that we might figure out a way in which you can have plans of your own.

[reflections_of]

I will be there for a portion of the evening.

In detail? Evan, this is a public forum you know. I wouldn't dare.

I shall send you an owl with the juciest of details.

[luciusjmalfoy]

I do hope your charming friend will be participating in the Easter gathering, as well as all the fun beforehand.

[reflections_of]

I am doing my best to persuade him, Lucius.

[luciusjmalfoy]

Persuade him to be in your presence? What kind of idiot requires persuasion to agree to be seen with you?

[reflections_of]

To persuade him to come to our little party, imbecile.

Though I am still unsure if he's really meant to be there.

[luciusjmalfoy]

You doubt too many of them, Narcissa.
